Wstfully gazing,

Than all else beside,
Winding me, love, OF thee.

BURGLAR KILLED.
o. P. Nolan Finds Leo Gaines Rob.
bling His House at csrulean
and Shoots Him Dead.

Mr.. Pink Nolan, who clerks in the
store of Pool & Co., at Cerulcan
Springs, Trigg Co., went home Sat-
urday night at II o'clock and as he
reached his residence discovered that
the door was open and some one was
pillaging the house. The burglar al
so discovered him and made a break
for the back door, but failing TO get
out ran back and attempted to run
past Nolan and escape by the front
door. Nolan fired his pistol at him
four times in rapid succession, every
shot taking effect. The first ball
entered his forehead, the second his
side and the other two were fired In
to his body after he fell. He was in
stantly killed. Mr.. Nolan's family
were all asleep and the burglar, who
turned out to be well known mu-
latto named Lee Gaines, was appro-
priating such things as he wanted.
He had already secured a ham of
meat when the occupant of the house
came upon him SO Unexpectedly. The
dead man was laid out in Walkers
store Sunday to await an inquest.
Nolan went to Cerulean
Springs from this city not long ago.
1t is not probable that he will be ar
rested for the shooting.

UP TO the present no indication has
been given as to the probable choice
by the President Of a successor to Mr..
Manning In the secretaryship Of the
treasury. IL was at first supposed that
the President would go outside Of the
department and choose a chief who had
been prominently identified with poll
tics instead OF promoting Assistant
Secretary Fairchild. IL soon appeared,
however, upon n review Of the field,
that the number Of available candi-
dates are very limited indeed, and OF
late the chances have seemed to be In
favor Of the promotion Of Mr.. Fair
child. Certainly the President could
20 farther and fare much worse.
Mr.. Fairchild was acting secretary
during Mr.. Mannlng's indisposition,
and made a very favorable impression.
He is understood 10 be fully In sym
patby with the main lines Of Mr..
Mapning's policy, and his appoint
ment would probably u less Of q
sensation of change than the appoint
ment Of any other man who has been
mentioned In connection with the sue

SPECIAL AGENT GEORGE, now al
Buffalo, Wyoming, imparts 10 the
Echo q plan for the disposition Of the
timber question in the territories Of
Wyoming and Montana. HI. proposes
an act by Congress which will form
all the timbered / nd in the two terri.
tories into one general timber reserva-
ton. which shall be under govern.
mental control. The act shall provide
for the appointment of a sufficient
number of local inspectors TO keep an
eye on the whole reservation. Then
settlers and saw mill men shall be
charged, say 80 cents per 1000 stump
age, the revenue thus derived TO be
appropriated 10 the payment OF the
salaries of the inspectors. The
duty Of each inspector shall be
TO see that no timber under
ten inches in diameter is cut, except.
ing dead timber, which shall be free,
and all limits shall be removed from
the vicinity Of the timber by the cut
tiers. No timber ar lumber shall A re-
moved from the territory wherein IL is
cut, and no restriction shall be placed
upon the cutting except as above
named. By this arrangement the
young timber would not be destroyed,
the danger Of destructive fires would
be averted, the settlers and others
could secure needed lumber with
which TO build better houses. construct
i~rrigating fumes, ETC., there would be
no chance for the government to be
robbed, as the salaries of the inspectors
would depend upon their vigilance,
and an era Of good feeling betv cen the
territorial people and the government
would be inaugurated.

A Protest Against Cheap Books.

The custom of wiring books instead
of sewing the sheets together, was i'm
ported, we believe, from America, and is
there used almost universally. Even
costly scientific treatises receive this
abominabl, treatment. Here it is at pres
ent used chiefly for the cheap and ephen-
eral literature, which perhaps ii is not
unsuited for. But book buyers should
refuse to take copies of valuable books
that have been wired. All that 10 neces-
sary to avoid receiving them is to state
when ordering copies that wired ones
will be refused. II the publisher declines
to supply sewn copies, the buyer should
order the work in sheets and have them
bound up by a competent bookbinder.
The extra trouble and cost will not be
wasted. II is unnecessary TO explain
tho mischiefs arising from the use of
wire; they are palpable on inspection
